North Shore Library News: Little libraries on the big lake

Funding from Minnesota's Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund provides free art, history and cultural programs at our public libraries through the Arrowhead Library System. If you haven't been to one of the Legacy programs at your library, here's how your friends and neighbors are describing their experiences: Fantastic, wonderful, educational, soothing, relaxing, enthralling, professional, excellent, enjoyable, pleasant, harmonious, delightful, silly, magical, stirring, and memorable. The next opportunity to enjoy a Legacy event comes Nov. 22 at 12 p.m. with a children's program from the Duluth Art Institute. Don't let the kids miss out on something spectacular!

Classic movies series for adults

and teens

We are starting a monthly showing of classic movies. These are intended for adults and high school students. The first film will be shown at 1:30 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 19 - a horror film from 1931 that is very fitting for this spooky season. Come see the stars of yesteryear, and enjoy the special effects of a bygone era. Popcorn will be available and there will be an optional discussion, including comparisons to Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley's "Frankenstein," following the movie. Also, bring your ideas of other classic films you would like to see and thoughts about the best time for viewings.
